My Ikea hack Kallax Breakfast Bar project is finally complete!

For £63, you too can build this Frankenstein’s monster breakfast bar that is both movable and able to store all manner of kitchen shit; there are a vast array of storage options available in the Ikea Kallax range, like the fancy wicker basket cubes and drawers.

For this job, you need a tape measure, a carpenters awl, a pencil and some countersunk wood screws.

1. Screw the Castor wheels onto the bottom corners of the Kallax
2. Drill 11mm holes into the Kallax top for the Capita bolts.
3. Fix the Capita arms/brackets to the Linnnmon table top
4. Pop the Capita bolts through the drill holes and fix the nut/washer at the other end.
5. Done.

Here are the bits you’ll need.
